Equity & MIP

Market UpdateEquity market was subjected to a host of news flows during December 2013 and hence remained volatile but returned positive for the month. The keenly watched state assembly election results saw the main opposition party at the centre, BJP garnering most number of seats in the 4 major states and forming governments in all except Delhi. While the actual outcome was more or less in line with the exit poll predictions, we may have to wait for the answer to the larger question of a stable and decisive government at the centre until the general elections in May 2014. But the highlight of the election process was the emergence of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a party born out of the anti-corruption movement and that may set the trend for the upcoming general election too. On the policy front, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) unexpectedly kept the rates unchanged and indicated that they may take a call after the next inflation data. Food prices and especially the vegetable prices were the larger contributors to the recent spikes in inflation and the RBI assumedly wanted to review the data expecting the vegetable prices to come down due to the winter effect. Globally, the Federal Reserve finally decided on the tapering plan and announced a USD 10 bn reduction in the quantum of monthly bond buying to USD 75 bn starting Jan 2014. The currency was not adversely impacted by the news flow unlike the previous time as the external macro indicators of the country have improvement at the margin.

Market indices BSE Sensex and Nifty returned positive for the month gaining 1.8% & 2.1% respectively. The broader market indices of BSE Midcap & BSE Smallcap outperformed the market indices by a fair margin delivering gains of 6% & 7.4% for the month. This outperformance by the broader indices has helped to narrow their performance gap for CY2013 with the market indices. Amongst the BSE sectoral indices, IT was the best performer at 7.9% while Metals, Real estate & Healthcare were not far behind delivering returns of 5.9%, 5.7% & 4.9% respectively. BSE Auto index was the worst performer losing 0.5% during the month.

The Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to bet on the turnaround story in country’s economic growth as they net bought equities worth ~USD 2.5 bn (cash segment) in December 2013. For the calendar year 2013, the FIIs were net buyers to the tune of ~USD 20 bn and marked the second consecutive year of strong net inflows into Indian equities (~USD 25 bn in CY12). The Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continued to remain on the other side of the trade turning net sellers to the tune of USD 1.2 bn for the month. On a full year basis, the DIIs have seen equity outflows of ~USD 12.9 bn.

The Current Account Deficit (CAD) concerns continued to recede as the trade deficit data brought some cheer. The trade deficit figure for November 2013 came in at ~USD 9.2 bn (vs. ~10.6 bn in October 2013) with exports rising by 5.9% (YoY), while imports fell by 16.4% (YoY). Gold imports again saw a sharp fall of 80.3% YoY while Oil imports declined 1.1% YoY.

Inflation & Industrial GrowthVegetable prices continued to drive inflation up

The headline inflation as measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inched up further to 7.5% in November 2013 (YoY vs. 7% in October). Rising vegetable prices continued to put pressure on the headline number as the core WPI remained stable at 2.7%. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) also rose to 11.2% in November 2013 (YoY vs. 10.2%) driven by high vegetable prices. The vegetable prices are expected to come down going into the winter season and the RBI is expected to consider rate action after the December 2013 data is out.

High base effect impacts IIP growth

Measure of the country’s factory output or the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data for October 2013 read a contraction of 1.8% (YoY) after some signs of revival seen in September (+2% YoY). The growth was impacted by the high base effect of the past year. Mining and Manufacturing segments contracted for the month at -3.5% & -2% respectively.

Global Economic Scenario

Finally, clarity on the Fed tapering plan

Putting an end to months of speculation, the US Federal Reserve finally announced its Quantitative Easing (QE) tapering plan from January 2014. As per the plan, the Federal Reserve will reduce the size of the asset purchases by USD 10 bn split evenly between Treasuries and Mortgage – backed securities. Further with the expectation of the economic recovery continuing in the US, the Federal Reserve is expected to reduce the monthly QE quantum through 2014 albeit at a modest pace. Federal Reserve also reaffirmed its commitment to keep the policy rates low. With the uncertainty on the timing of the tapering plan removed, investors can now focus more on the fundamentals of the risk assets globally rather than unduly worrying about the likely liquidity impact. Also, the gradual liquidity withdrawal is also expected have a lesser adverse impact on the emerging markets as the overall global recovery may act as a balancing factor.

Going ForwardDecember 2013 was an eventful month with the domestic news flows such as state assembly poll results, RBI policy review and macro data releases. Federal Reserve tapering plan was most followed global event to have come through during the month. But even after flipping through these, it may be premature to gauge the market direction for the near term yet, as we are stepping into a year which may see more events & the resultant outcomes. The general election in May 2014 is a widely followed event as a new & stable government at the centre, paves way for clarity & continuity in the policy environment. However, given the importance of this event domestically, equity market may remain range bound and sometimes volatile in the run up to the event. Having said that, there are certainly some compelling reasons to look at investing in equities in 2014 from a long term perspective. We may be approaching the bottom of a three year economic bottom and as cycles go, they bounce back after they hit bottom. There are also hopes of a policy revival post a stable government formation at the centre but the general election is still an event with binary consequences though. The market valuations also appear reasonable from a historical point of view. Globally, there are signs of recovery in the US and early hints of a turnaround in the Eurozone as well. All these factors indicate the need to have a constructive view on equities with a long term perspective. As always, it will be prudent for retail investors to have an optimal asset allocation plan and to be aware of their respective risk appetite and risk thresholds. At HSBC, we employ a bottom up stock picking strategy aimed at identifying those profitable companies trading at reasonable valuations. We advise investors to remain invested in equities and utilise the systematic investment plan (SIP) route to invest in a disciplined and regular manner to tide over the market volatility from time to time.

DebtRBI's Monetary Policy, Economic Events and Data

Monetarypolicy delivers a surprisepause

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stayed pat on policy rates at the mid quarter monetary policy review in December 2013. Contrary to wide expectations of rate hike following the faster than expected rise in inflation numbers, trends in constituents of inflation contributed to the surprise pause from the RBI. That said, the RBI has put in caveats for further policy measures which include the upcoming prints of inflation.

The pick-up in real GDP growth in Q2 of 2013-14, although modest, was driven largely by robust growth of agricultural activity, supported by an improvement in net exports. However, the weakness in industrial activity persisting into Q3, and lackluster lead indicators of services and subdued domestic consumption demand suggest continuing headwinds to growth. Tightening government spending in Q4 to meet budget projections will add to these headwinds.

Wholesale inflation has gone up sharply from Q2 onwards, with upside pressures evident across all constituent components. Retail inflation measured by the consumer price index (CPI) has risen unrelentingly through the year so far, pushed up by the unseasonal upturn in vegetable prices, double-digit housing inflation and elevated levels of inflation in the non-food and non-fuel categories. High inflation at both wholesale and retail level risks entrenching inflation expectations at unacceptably elevated levels, posing a threat to growth and financial stability. There are also signs of a resumption of high rural wage growth, suggesting second round effects that cannot be ignored.

As regards to external sector, the narrowing of the trade deficit since June through November 2013, on positive export growth and contraction in both oil and non-oil imports might bring the current account deficit (CAD) down to a more sustainable level for the year as a whole.

Robust inflows into the swap windows opened by the RBI during August-November 2013 have contributed significantly to rebuilding foreign exchange reserves thus covering possible external financing requirements and providing stability to the foreign exchange market. Looking ahead, these favourable developments might help to build resilience to external shocks.

Page 6: December 2013 - HSBC · 2014-01-15 · Fund Manager Commentary December 2013 4 Review: HSBC Progressive Themes Fund Currently focusing on the following themes; 1.Economic Reforms

IIP continues to remain benign whereas inflation prints an upward surprise

India’s industrial production growth fell to -1.8% year on year (YoY) in October 2013 from 2% YoY in September, lower than market expectation of -1.2%. Adverse base effects, lower infrastructure output growth and weak demand led to the decline.

Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation rose to 7.5% YoY in November 2013 from 7.0% in October, led by a spike in vegetable price inflation.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rose to 11.2% YoY in November 2013 from 10.2% in October, substantially above expectations of 10.0%. Recent fall in vegetable prices would be captured in future prints, albeit rise in other food products and wages would keep CPI sticky at near double digit levels. Core CPI inflation was unchanged at 8.2% YoY in November 2013.

Market Activity

Bonds remain listless

Bond yields witnessed easing across the yield curve. Positive surprise on the policy outcome, prospects of easing in certain inflation constituents (vegetables) and expected easier liquidity scenario from January 2013 led to bond yields easing by 15 – 20 bps for the month.The RBI, at its post policy call also provided some comfort on the proposed debt switch; wherein Dy. Governor mentioned that the debt switch would be conducted in a way without adversely impacting the yield. It may be noted that the recent steepness in the yield curve is also owing to the concerns around the debt switch wherein the RBI would buy back short end bonds and issue long end bonds so as to neutralize the heavy sovereign maturities scheduled in the next fiscal.

Limited supply in corporate bonds

Credit segment remained supported with the lack of supply. Issuers were less incentivised to raise resources via bond route as spreads between bank loans and bond rates were lower and healthy inflows in the tax free issuances. Seasonal end-investor demand during the onset of the new year also ensured that credit segment remained well bid.

MSF continues to remain operative rate

Money market rates continued to drift lower expecting further relaxation in liquidity measures in-spite of seasonal tightening on back of advance tax outflow. However, higher government balance towards the end of the month led to Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) being operative rate.

Global Economy

In a surprise move Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) at its December 2013 meet announced a taper of 10 bn as against the original 85 bn programme. This announcement on the back of stronger data in the US economy has led to rise in US treasuries trading at recent highs of 3% levels.

Going Forward

The Reserve Bank of India has opted to buy more time to determine further action to quell inflation. After two consecutive rate hikes in the past meetings to anchor inflation expectations, markets had priced in further rate moves in similar direction owing to faster than expected rise in inflation prints. Forward guidance denotes higher weightage on trajectory of inflation constituents, especially food and fuel.

Recent evidences of lowering of vegetable prices in December 2013 amidst stable commodity prices provide further comfort for the RBI. Disinflationary impact of exchange rate stability and lagged effect of recent monetary tightening might also contribute to contain the pace of inflation. It may also be noted that the lower growth prospects could be even further dented as the Government embarks on reducing the expenditure during the remaining part if this fiscal. This exemplifies the RBI’s “close call’ to stay pat on the policy rates.

Considering the above, we expect yield curve to undergo steepness with long end rates remaining range bound. Comfortable liquidity scenario negates prospects of open market operations implying pressure on the medium – long term yields. Key risks in the near term would include the mode of debt switch by the RBI and impact of tapering of the US quantitative easing. Recent mop up of forex reserves by the RBI provide further comfort on the Indian Rupee (INR) front and hence the markets would be better prepared to weather the US tapering. On other hand prices of long term segment are already reflecting these negative sentiments and may get positive push from buying by foreign investors. Hence, we would maintain neutral duration stance currently.

@Pursuant to SEBI circular dated Sept 13, 2012, certain Plans/options within the schemes have been discontinued to comply with a single plan structure. Since there was no continuous NAV history available for the surviving Plan prior to 19 May 2011, returns since the said date have been considered for calculating performance. The inception date of HSBC Cash Fund however is 4 December 2002.
